I lugged around four 80-lb mannequins at work today. And I am SORE. Seriously, I'm out of shape. I have every intention of hitting the gym, but it's always tomorrow. I'm tired today, I have to work, I have classes... always an excuse to go tomorrow. I need motivation!

In other, more exciting news, I have Benjamin time scheduled! Seriously, who wouldn't be super excited to hang out with this!?

He is the light of my life, and he's not even mine. I could not love that kid more. Melissa and Bill are going to go out for the night and I'm going home just to babysit him! Too bad it's not until February 22. Sadface. But it's for a good cause, because Melissa and Benny are heading to Virginia to spend time with her family. She really needs a break to spend time with the people she loves, and to wrap her head around losing Olivia. She told me that she's suddenly overwhelmed with it all, which makes sense. With the holiday parties and people around all the time, I can see how you can be forced to push it in the back of your mind. We all need to make peace with it, and she hasn't been given the opportunity to yet. I think it'll be good for all three of them.

I meant to post this a couple of days ago, but RIP Heath Ledger.He was my first heart throb crush... I have every word of 10 Things I Hate About You memorized.He was an amazing actor, and I know that he is incredibly missed by his family, friends, and fans.Keep Matilda Rose in your prayers if you can.I couldn't imagine growing up without my father.

In an effort to raise money and the awareness of autism, the band Five for Fighting is donating 0.40 each and every time this video is viewed. Please take a minute to watch it, and if you can, watch it often. Don't forget the tissues.

Little Ol' Me

Who am I? I'm bold, opinionated, sweet, and loving. I'm a romantic, old soul, old-fashioned, middle school teaching 20-something who values God and family above all else. I'm currently getting ready to move away from everything I've ever known to a new town, new state, 2000 miles from home, for an adventure- to embrace opportunity and take risks. I'm looking forward to getting outside of my bubble.

About Me

I am a college student, loving and fearing life all at once. I have a wonderful family, including a nephew who I adore more than anything in the world, a niece who left us far too soon (and another niece or nephew on the way) and two sisters who have turned into best friends. On the other hand, my friends mean the world to me, and have become a second family. Feel free to comment any time. (:
